"Katon, Gokakyuu no Jutsu!" A medium-sized flamethrower erupted from the young genin's mouth, burning a handful of unlucky trees continuously, until the boy began to cough, cancelling the technique. Now, one would've likely thought that Yukio had some hatred towards trees - but that wasn't the case. He was sparring yet again with his brother and attempted to hit him with the great fireball technique - except Hikaru had moved swiftly towards the trees, leaping behind Yukio, who spun around to face his brother again. [b][color=f26522]"Unfair! You're getting faster, eh!"[/color][/b] Hikaru shrugged, "maybe," he admitted with a hint of a smile. He then engaged his little brother in hand-to-hand combat, starting off slow, then increasing his speed until his moves became a blur. "Since we lack ranged abilities, we must push our bodies to the limit!" Yukio could block and dodge his brother's attacks with ease while he was holding up, but when Hikaru began to increase his speeds, Yukio's movements became slightly less precise - at least two punches connected, causing him minor pain. Then, he decided that if he kept dodging, he wouldn't manage to stop the flurry of punches and kicks thrown at him, so he decided to wait until an opening was given and counter-attack his brother; which he did merely a few seconds after, managing to precisely block a punch with his elbow, the boy attempted to throw a frontal kick towards his brother's chest - it was to gather distance instead of cause damage, really. Hikaru was impressed that only two hits connected, his brother was improving quite nicely. He saw the kick coming and jumped into the air, managing to push himself into a backflip off of his brother's foot. Yukio's tactic had worked nonetheless, as there was now a good distance between them. Reaching for his thigh, Yukio took two kunai with his right hand, tossing it with little precision - mostly due to his lack of skills with them - towards his brother. Hikaru smirked as he drew his own kunai, and slashed the projectiles out of the sky, "don't use those unless you're using them as some sort of distraction. Your skill with weapons are minimal, we need to train with those too. Tools can be very useful to you, especially when your visual prowess awakens." The eleven year old quickly grabbed his weapons from his pouch and threw three kunai at his brother, the middle one having a wire attached to it. He would use the middle kunai to either change the trajectory of the other kunai, or spin it around and throw it at Yukio if that didn't work. Suddenly, the door of their house opened, and their mother called to them, saying they would be late if they continued any longer. Hikaru reluctantly stopped his attack, flicking the two kunai into the ground and dropping the third using his wire. The brothers, after saying good-bye to their parents, took off towards the academy. They became two blurs on rooftops, weaving in and out of crowds with ease, seeming to be in sync. It was so surreal that this was all happening, even the villagers were impressed. Hikaru shifted his forehead-protector, not used to it being on, but glad it finally was. The Uchihas arrived swiftly, quietly entering and finding a seat. Hikaru observed the room, eyes stopping on that little brat Kossetsu. The genin smirked, but inside he was slightly annoyed. The little guy was so innocent looking, but packed a mean punch. Hikaru wasn't annoyed by Kossetsu himself, more by the fact that he was so skilled at such a young age. The Sharingan was supposed to be the strongest Kekkei Genkai in his eyes, but the stage his was in, was not enough to overpower the Kaguya. Hikaru shook himself out of his annoyed thoughts and tried to focus on what was happening. Today was such a big day for him and his brother. Their journeys as ninjas would begin today, so much could happen. They had applied to be in the same squad, because they worked so well together. He could only hope that the third squad mate they had would be useful. The last hting they needed was a person that would hold them back. Hikaru folded his arms over his chest, trying to look focused, but his normal, charming smile broke through. He admitted it, he was excited. "Ready bro?" he asked Yukio quietly, [color=f26522]"as always,"[/color] his little brother responded with a grin. 'Smart ass,' he thought to himself as he grinned.
